It's been quite some time since I've been here. I went through the program quickly, while being on Zoloft for some time. Things got better... medical insurance changed, and I went off of the meds. I was doing well for just over a year, but here I am again. Depressive symptoms came back, although not quite as bad. I'm a little quicker at recognizing the spiral for what it is. Looking back I know that CBT (the little bit that I stuck around for) was - for me - more successful then the medication. I've decided that I need to follow the program and do the homework; to put forth the effort as suggested by the administrators of this site. I'm thinking I'll forgo the meds and office therapy. I reserve the right to change my mind on that, but I'd rather see how I progress with the CBT as I'm not in such a critical state as I was last go-around.
